What if you had two foot buttons wired to the same input and you alternated your feet for faster firing maybe? No? Definitely be good exercise while playing. |

Like Xiaou2 said, you cannot successfully play DOT with rapid fire. Go try it now and you'll understand. I think many of us believe that maybe the foot pedal could be helpful for up/down aiming in DOT. Another thought for up/down, depending on your control panel setup (and I have not tried this) would be to try mapping buttons that are within reach of your thumb(s). If you can reach them, a la Defender, they could possibly be used for up/down. If you simply want a foot pedal fire button for various other games, then by all means continue on. That could be fun to play. |

Or, inevitably, slap it with your hands. ;D |

Have any pics? --- End quote --- Yes, I actually wired up a pedal designed as a Yamaha keyboard sustain pedal (for music) to use with MAME as a foot switch. I used it for racing games in conjunction with a TT spinner. |
